The researcher categorizes students’ learning style based on their score from each question. Visual learners get highest score in question A, Auditory learners get highest score in question B, and Kinesthetic learners get highest score in question C. But, from the data the researcher finds some students have the same high score in different learning style. It means that a student can prefer to have more than one learning style, it is also known as mix of learning style or multiple learning styles. Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less use of the other styles. Others may find that they use different styles in different circumstances. 1 Because of the explanation above the researcher adds the total of respondent becomes 70 respondents N = 70. In the table the researcher categorizes the type of learners and makes percentages. The researcher breaks down the data into percentage to make it easy for the readers to understand the result of the observation. The formula to count the percentage as follows: 1 “Overview of Learning Styles,” accessed June 25, 2015, http:www.learning-styles- online.comoverview. digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id P = Percentage F = the number of each learning style N = total number of students Table 4.2 Visual Learners NO NAME 1 AHR 2 BAAP 3 IN 4 KKN 5 PKY 6 RH 7 RM 8 WU 9 IPY 10 YA 11 MTK 12 EMBP 13 MN 14 RN 15 SA 16 YT 17 ZB 18 AFH 19 AHM 20 ALA 21 SM 22 WAM 23 DM 24 FNU 25 IN 26 MB digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 27 SAF 28 HS 29 IN 30 NAS 31 MD 32 AL 33 BRH 34 DAP 35 EAP 36 ENW 37 FYA 38 HK 39 IMA 40 MM 41 AM 42 MZ P = x 100 = x 100 = 0, 6 x 100 = 60 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id Table 4.3 Auditory Learners NO NAME 1 DAC 2 MB 3 SAF 4 SI 5 IMA 6 ECR 7 DAW 8 HS 9 MD 10 ADA 11 HR 12 KA 13 RP P = x 100 = x 100 = 0, 19 x 100 = 19 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id Table 4.4 Kinesthetic Learners NO NAME 1 MJ 2 PKY 3 HMA 4 BAR 5 DI 6 EWA 7 HJ 8 MI 9 AN 10 FAG 11 WH 12 IMA 13 LM 14 LFS 15 MF P = x 100 = x 100 = 0, 21 x 100 = 21 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 60 19 21 Percentage of Students Learning Style Visual Auditory Kinesthetic Chart 4.1 The Graph of Students’ Learning Style of 4th Semester At Critical Reading Class Based on the result above the researcher find the type of visual learners are 36 students 60, auditory learners are 13 students 19 and kinesthetic learners are 15 students 21. It shows that visual learners are more dominant than auditory and kinesthetic learners in critical reading class. Yet, there are 14 students who have multiple learning styles. The preeminent of students for each learning style is shown in table above. For more detail about the score of students’ preeminent in each learning style is shown in the following table. digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 10 20 30 40 50 60 20,0-25,0 26,0-30,0 31,0-35,0 Percentage of Visual Learners Students Chart 4.2 Based on the data obtained, the result the first question visual preference of questionnaire shows that among 62 students, there are 7 students who got highest score, their scores range from 31, 0 – 35, 0, there are 21 students who got the scores range from 26, 0 – 30, 0 and there are 34 students who got the scores range 20, 0 – 25, 0. This means that 55 students have tendencies in visual learning style another one with supreme visual learning style. digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 20 40 60 80 20,0-25,0 26,0-30,0 31,0-35,0 Percentage of Auditory Learners Students 20 40 60 80 20,0-25,0 26,0-30,0 31,0-35,0 Percentage of Kinesthetic Learners Students Chart 4.3 For auditory learning style, the result of the data shows that there are only 4 students who get highest score, 13 students get the scores range from 26, 0 – 30, 0 and there are 47 students who get the scores range 20, 0 – 25, 0.

Note for the table 4.5 – table 4.7: 20, 0 – 25, 0 = Negligible Low 26, 0 – 30, 0 = Minor learning style preference Strength 31, 0 – 35, 0 = Major learning style preference Very Strength The note above means that every student has learning style preference that reaches the higher point in an aspect of learning style than the other. In order to make the reader easy to read, the researcher classify the data into 3 groups including Negligible Low, Minor learning style preference Strength and Major learning style preference Very Strength. In addition, there are some students who get more than one highest score in the sheet. It means that shehe has more than one majority learning style preference or it also calls as multiple learning styles. digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id

B. Correlation between Students’ Learning Style and Achievement in Critical

Reading Class The second variable of this research is students’ achievement in critical reading class. This variable is collected from the students’ critical reading score in 4 th semester of 20142015 academic year. The score is taken from midterm examination. The students’ critical reading achievement score is provided into the table below: Table 4.5 Students’ Critical Reading Score No Name Total score Categorization 1 AHR 4 Unacceptable D 2 BAAP 15 Superior A 3 DAC 10 Good B 4 IN 12 Good B 5 KKN 6 Below average C 6 MJ 8 Below average C 7 MB 12 Good B 8 PKY 11 Good B 9 RH 14 Superior A 10 RM 6 Below average C 11 SAF 10 Good B 12 SI 12 Good B 13 WU 10 Good B 14 AMA 9 Good B 15 ECR 10 Good B 16 IPY 12 Good B 17 YA 10 Good B 18 MTK 6 Below average C 19 BAR 6 Below average C 20 DL 6 Below average C digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 21 DAW 8 Below average C 22 EMBP 8 Below average C 23 EWA 8 Below average C 24 HJ 10 Good B 25 MI 6 Below average C 26 MN 10 Good B 27 RN 13 Superior A 28 SA 8 Below average C 29 YT 14 Superior A 30 ZB 15 Superior A 31 AFH 14 Superior A 32 AN 12 Good B 33 AHM 14 Superior A 34 HS 9 Good B 35 ALA 4 Unacceptable D 36 SM 6 Below average C 37 WAH 8 Below average C 38 DM 12 Good B 39 FAG 11 Good B 40 FNU 10 Good B 41 MD 12 Good B 42 IN 14 Superior A 43 NAS 6 Below average C 44 WH 9 Good B 45 ADA 6 Below average C 46 AL 10 Good B 47 BRH 9 Good B 48 DAP 9 Good B 49 EAP 4 Unacceptable D 50 ENW 12 Good B 51 EKA 15 Superior A 52 FYA 9 Good B 53 HK 10 Good B 54 IMA 8 Below average C 55 KA 9 Good B 56 LM 14 Superior A digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 57 LFS 13 Superior A 58 MM 10 Good B 59 MF 12 Good B 60 RP 10 Good B 61 AM 8 Below average C 62 MZ 11 Good B Based on the table above the higher score of the students is 15 and the lowest score is 4. The categories of total score are: Superior : 13 – 16 A Good : 9 – 12 B Below Average : 5 – 8 C Unacceptable : 1 — 4 D Based on the table above, among 62 students there are 3 students get the lowest score 4 of critical reading middle test. It makes them fail the examination because 4 is unacceptable. The summary of critical reading score is presented by the following table: Table 4.6 Students’ Score Range of Critical Reading No Score range Number of students 1 13-15 Superior 11 2 9-12 Good 31 3 5-8 Below Average 17 4 1-4 Unacceptable 3 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id The table above shows that there are 11 students who get superior predicate and the score is between 13-14 and 15-31students who get good predicate and the average score is 9 to 12, 17 students who get below average predicate and the score is between 6 and 8 and there are 3 students who unacceptable because their score are 4. After the data is collected, the researcher calculates the data using Pearson Product Moment Correlation to find the significant correlation between students’ learning style and critical reading achievement. Based on the data analysis technique on chapter III, the researcher uses application SPSS 16.0 to calculate and to know the correlation between students’ learning style and achievement in critical reading class. The result of computation is shown more detail by making correlation between each learning style and the score of critical reading.
